This morning I hit my goal weight of 400lbs in the squat -- not bad for 48, 6'5" -- I got 2 reps with it and that was an awesome feeling. New goal now is 450lbs - it'll be awhile, but it will happen!
Pump Hard friends!

My olympic bar is only 30lbs, so I did 4 plates and a 5 on each side for an even 400

I'm curious....Why? the gentlemen is 6'5" and like a pretty lean looking 250 I have a feeling his numbers will go quite higher in the future.Originally Posted by mikieson

Why? I want to see how his form is. How he handles the weight. How he goes about getting under the weight. Everything...PLUS he is a tall guy. Im tall, not quite his height but still..Just nice to see someone close to the same doing something I want to get better at.Originally Posted by Old_Swole
